Lord I Pray

Just some to the things that I pray for the upcoming school year for our Deer Park Church of Christ kids.

Lord, I pray that my children would understand their need for Jesus and rejoice in the good news of the Gospel.

Lord, I pray that my children will love learning; that their hearts would seek to understand the world you have created.

Lord, I pray that you would surround them with friends who make wise choices and encourage their faith.

I pray that their teachers would be wise and gentle.

I pray that they would be thoughtful with their words and respectful in their replies.

I pray that you would free them from the pressure of trying to be like everyone else by instilling in them the confidence to know that they are uniquely made by you.

Lord, I pray that they would work with diligence and put forth their best efforts.

I pray that they would receive correction well.

I pray that when they do what is wrong, they would bear consequences that lead them to repentance.  I pray that when they do what is right, you would bless their obedience that they may learn to love your ways.

I pray that your Word would be on their hearts and in their minds as they learn.

I pray that they would share their faith with others.

I pray that they would be kind to others.

I pray that you would give them the grace of self-control

I pray that you would protect them from all evil.

More than anything else, may their lives glorify you.

O Lord, hear our prayers!  Amen
